      why doesn't EuroDisney have fireworks?

      Disneyland Paris has beautiful firework displays every night over the Christmas season. My family greatly enjoyed them.

      We now return you to the regular schedule of grunting, barbaric xenophobia and American diplomacy. Assuming there is a distinction.

  3. Can I just submit a bug? by person-0.9a · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can I just submit the bug "Doesn't play nicely with bnetd" without having to sign up for the beta.

    Well, I WAS gonna sign up, but if it's posted on slashdot then 10,000 slots seems slim to none...

    "Unlike with the beta for the inital release they are acually allowing the macintosh uses to test this time."

    Ooo that's good news for a handful of people!

    One good bout of French-basing deserves another two (or three, or four...)

    Going to war without the French is like a hunter going into the woods without his accordian.

    Why did the French plant trees along the Champs Elysees? So Germans can march in the shade.

    Some more jabs at the froggies:
